    errr... how does car owner know that it is indeed nitrogen that is being pumped into the tire?
    for all we know, it is just 78% nitrogen, the rest oxygen..

    The machine has a guage that shows the percentage of nitrogen that it is producing usually the value is 99.5 percent.

    A seperate guage also shows the volume from the seperate tank and when you fill up, be aware of the indicator lights that it is pumping nitrogen.

    Mapapansin mo lang that after 2 to 3 weeks pantay magbawas ng pressure tires mo depende sa layo ng tinakbo. By experience, lowest is 0.5 psi and highest is 2 psi lang ang bawas.

    100% nitrogen adds 50 more hp while 78% nitrogen produces about 39hp gain :-)

    Sa normal air lang din ako due to the following reasons :

    1. Mas may peace of mind ako in-case lumambot gulong ko sa malayong lugar na walang malapit na vulcanizing shop.
    2. Mas matipid kasi bumili na lang ako ng electronic air pump sa Ace around 400 ata (20% discount). Mag 2 years na at functional pa rin naman.
    3. Ok na sakin to kasi weekly naman ako magcheck ng tire pressure at walang malapit samin na nitrogen refilling station.

    but what about going forward, sir, which is what most of us do, 99.9 % of the time?

    1. not a problem. nitrogen and air are fully exchangeable.
    2. i got the more expensive one.. 1800 to 2000 bucks. it's really faster, and... you can use it more than once or thrice, longer working time too, and still maintain its efficiency. my experience with those small/cheaper ones.. they get hot faster, and they lose efficiency with multiple use.

    Agree dr.d that it gets hot quite quick, 10 minutes lang ata yung recommended continuous use. Siguro kung dumami na tsikot ko mag invest na ko sa more expensive pump.

    I call it an investment since DIY na yung pag rerefill ko ng air at di ko na need mag tip/bayad sa suking vulcanizing or gasoline boy. Yung pa lima-limang piso or higher pag kinompyut ko sa isang tao eh daan-daan din.

    Pwede rin ako magrefill anytime at anwhere kaya less abala at gas expense.
